Aero Build, a manufacturer of mobile business trailers and electric RVs through its subsidiary brand Coast, announced the appointment of Heather Reed as director of manufacturing and welcomed Evan McCasland as partner.
Headquartered and manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee, Aero Build was founded by Brian Fuente in 2017, stemming from the success of his mobile bartending and coffee service, The Aero Bar. Since then, the company has built thousands of mobile business trailers for entrepreneurs across the globe. Recognizing a growing demand for freedom and unique travel experiences, Fuente founded Coast, an all-electric travel trailer brand. Following the successful debut of the Coast Model 1 earlier this year, the company is now gearing up for ongoing expansion, it said.
“This marks a pivotal moment for both Coast and Aero Build. As we position ourselves for growth across both brands, we are thrilled to welcome Heather and Evan to our team. Their expertise and dedication align perfectly with our vision,” said Fuente.
Reed brings over 19 years of distinguished experience in facilities and operations management to her new role at Aero Build. Previously, Reed served as senior manager of facilities and operations at industrial equipment supplier McMaster-Carr Supply Co. With a proven track record in driving operational efficiency and fostering cross-functional teams, Reed will spearhead efforts to enhance product excellence and innovation, focusing on Coast’s Model 1 and upcoming new offerings, the company said.
In joining Aero Build as a partner, McCasland brings over 20 years of experience in production engineering and process design. Currently serving as chief engineer of production systems at Wisk, an aviation and aerospace component manufacturer, McCasland’s extensive background includes over 17 years at Nissan, where he played integral roles in engineering and business development, driving strategic initiatives and optimizing performance and collaboration across functions and cultures.
“I’m thrilled to be part of Aero Build’s journey and eager to collaborate with Brian and the team to further advance sustainable mobile business and travel solutions,” said McCasland.
With Reed leading manufacturing efforts and McCasland lending his expertise, Fuente said he is confident that Aero Build and Coast are primed to accelerate innovation and continue delivering exceptional products.
